I am a mid class person living in Mexico a very normal mid class live. But, I wrote a novel… a science fiction novel. The 6 persons had read the novle have told me that it is simple excellent but, what can they say? they are my frinds. On the other hand I know that the novel is really excellent. After I finished to write it, I read it and I think is the best science fiction novel I have ever read. But, what can I say? It is my novel. Then, how can I know my novel is what I think it is? Then I knew about the Hugo Award. I offer my novel to you as it is. Directtly from my fingers to your eyes and minds. It has no major “style correction” it has only some grammar corrections thanks to the 6 friends comments. It is in spanish. It is in Word or PDF. Please just think that I am a very normal mid class person who one day six months ago started to write and finished its first novel two monts ago. But I humble think my novel is really good. I just want to ask for the opportunity to send you my book to participate in the Hugo Award contest. I thank you very much in advance for the opportunity. I am sure you may receive hundred of books like mine every year. Even those books are en English making you your life easier my book is very good. You may notice English is not my language while you read these lines. Sorry for that. Please just think for a moment… “what if you have the next Hugo Award Novel…”. Sorry the lack of humble but what can I say? my novel is very good. If you may help me could you tell me please what should I do? Thanks, really many thanks in advance…

Nobody can submit their work for the Hugo Awards. There is no Committee that selects the short lists or winners. The nominations and final selections are made by the thousands of members of the World Science Fiction Society, not by a small select committee, so there’s no submission process. See our longer article about Submissions for a more detailed explanation.
